The Boys Are Back (In Cars)
Oh, but I missed my scruffy, caustic middle-aged British men. It’s been some time since Clarkson’s nail in the coffin stunt that got him fired from BBC’s Top Gear (cough, the real one) and it’s easy to forget why Clarkson, Hammond and May are the best in the business. But they are the best, and it seems that nothing – not even literally being fired from their own television program – can change that.

However, one illustrious member of the company’s product line has been conspicuously absent from the show field.

In 1925, Hudson’s subsidiary Essex Motor Company decided to capitalize on aviation’s appeal to promote a new six-cylinder model in its popular Essex line by sending an example on a three-month nationwide tour via airplane.

Plymouth's Savoy was a popular police vehicle from the mid-1950s through the mid-1960s. A beautiful example of a 1964 model owned by the San Jose California Police Department is at the scene of a freak aircraft accident that disrupted the tranquility of a local suburban neighborhood.

Shell Oil aired a commercial in 1997 of a speeding Ferrari F310 seemingly being refueled from an aircraft as a component of its then-current campaign entitled “The Future Is In The Making.” The campaign was developed to emphasize Shell’s obsession with developing innovative solutions to satisfy customer’s current and future fuel needs.
